Wave Mixing and Electromagnetic Wave Scattering in Plasmas

Wave Mixing and Electromagnetic Wave Scattering in Plasmas

Kinetic and tluid treatments of nonlinear wave interactions (wave mixing and electromagnetic wave scatrering) in plasmas are considered and the difference between the two approaches is discussed. Solving the kinetic equation by the method of moments makes it possible to substantiate the validity and find the applicability range of the fluid approach to the study of nonlinear plasma processes. I...

Electromagnetic Wave Simulation in Fusion Plasmas

COMSOL has been used to model the propagation of electromagnetic waves in fusion plasmas. For the first time, a finite element method has been used to solve the wave propagation for realistic fusion plasma parameters in the lower hybrid and ion cyclotron frequency ranges. Moreover, for lower hybrid waves, a new efficient iterative algorithm has been developed to take into account the dispersive...

Electromagnetic wave dynamics in matter-wave superradiant scattering.

We present a small-signal wave propagation theory on matter-wave superradiant scattering. We show, in a longitudinally excited condensate, that the backward-propagating, superradiantly generated optical field propagates with ultraslow group velocity and that the small-signal gain profile has a Bragg resonance. We further show a unidirectional suppression of optical superradiant scattering, and ...

Comment on ""Electromagnetic Wave Dynamics in Matter- Wave Superradiant Scattering"

The Letter by Deng et al. [1] presents an analytic theoretical description of matter-wave superradiance [2] which claims to go beyond previous theoretical frameworks. I show here that the theory presented in this Letter is not a description of superradiance per se, but rather an elegant perturbative description of a Raman amplifier far away from the superradiant threshold. As such, it merely is...
